2019 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · MK19 FMM

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend across its recent history. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 January 2026 at 141,281 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted minor damage to the nearside front and offside rear tyres. These issues did not reach the structural cords and represent typical consumable wear rather than a mechanical failure. This aligns with the clean records seen in the previous three tests. The mileage profile is high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant surge in usage between January 2024 at 72,444 miles and January 2025 at 108,222 miles, where the car covered over 35,000 miles in just twelve months. This rate accelerated further with another 33,000 miles recorded between January 2025 and January 2026. Such rapid accumulation suggests heavy motorway use which places stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as the high-mileage profile often leads to premature rubber degradation and fatigue. While the record shows no structural or brake defects, the volume of travel increases the likelihood of worn shock absorbers and thinning brake discs. Given the recent report of tyre cuts in the 2026 test, a thorough check of the remaining sidewalls is necessary to ensure no hidden structural damage has developed from high-frequency driving.
